Patient's question:
About two or three days ago, there was itching in the external genital area, and now it's accompanied by a friction-like pain. The menstrual period has a somewhat foul odor, and there's also some foreign matter leaking out, like shredded paper.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is inferred that you have experienced external vaginal itching before your period, accompanied by an unpleasant odor during menstruation. Itching and discomfort before menstruation are usually symptoms of candidal vulvovaginitis. It is recommended that after your period ends, you visit a hospital to have your vaginal discharge tested. If it is confirmed to be candidal vulvovaginitis, you can use baking soda to wash the vagina and external genitalia, insert Nifuratel metronidazole vaginal suppositories into the vagina, and apply clotrimazole cream to the external genitalia for treatment.In addition, during the treatment of external genital itching, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient should maintain a cheerful mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary interference with the recovery of external genital itching.
